Is APC p.Arg856His (c.2567G>A) pathogenic?

APC p.Arg856His (c.2567G>A) is classified Uncertain significance in APC (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 6 submitters; last evaluated 2025-03-13). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.1706); Very rare (popmax 0.00223%, eas); Associated with familial adenomatous polyposis 1.

What condition is associated with APC p.Arg856His (c.2567G>A)?

APC p.Arg856His (c.2567G>A) is associated with familial adenomatous polyposis 1, hereditary neoplastic syndrome (ClinVar).

How common is APC p.Arg856His (c.2567G>A) in the general population?

APC p.Arg856His (c.2567G>A) is very rare (popmax 0.00223%, eas) (gnomAD).

How is Familial adenomatous polyposis inherited?

Typically Autosomal dominant, Autosomal recessive (Orphanet). A genetic counselor can assess individual risk for a family.

What do computational predictors say about APC p.Arg856His (c.2567G>A)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.1706) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

Ashkenazi Jewish shows a higher raw frequency than the grpmax group above it. gnomAD excludes bottlenecked groups — Finnish, Ashkenazi Jewish, Amish and “Remaining individuals” — from grpmax, because founder effects make their frequencies unrepresentative for filtering. The table is sorted by frequency, so an excluded group can sit above the grpmax row.

Rarity supports pathogenicity (ACMG PM2); frequency above a disease-specific BA1/BS1 threshold argues against it. A variant frequent in one ancestry group can be near-absent in others, so a single global figure can mislead.
